Special Note: You are considered an international student if you hold, or will need to obtain a non-immigrant visa including a student visa (F-1) or an exchange visitor visa (J-1). Applicants who are U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, pending permanent residency, NJ Dream Act/DACA, and undocumented are considered domestic applicants at Rowan University.

Step 1 - Complete the Application

Transfer Student (applying after you have already earned 12 or more credits at another university)

Submit your Official Transcript. If you have a U.S. University Transcript please submit an official copy, otherwise please submit an official "course by course" Foreign Credential Evaluation Report

Submit standardized language test scores - a TOEFL score of 79 or IELTS score of 6.0. International students must submit standardized test scores unless they are exempt (View Language Policy).
*If you have completed English Composition I & II with minimum grades of a "C" the TOEFL/ IELTS requirement will be waived.
*If you don't meet the English required scores please see Conditional Admission

Special Requirements:

Transfer applicants with less than 24 credits completed at the time of application must submit a U.S. high school official transcript or a Credential Evaluation Report of their non-U.S. high school transcript. These applicants are evaluated using the freshman admission standards and college transcripts.

Special Note: Transfer students offered admission will receive a credit evaluation by the registrar and the academic department. Once that evaluation is completed, an advisor will answer questions about transferring credits from another institution to Rowan University.

Step 2 - Complete the I-20 Application

All International applicants must complete an I-20 Application and supporting documentation. We encourage you begin the I-20 application immediately after submitting the university application. Upon academic acceptance, your I-20 application will be processed by the International Center. Please submit photocopies of your I-20 application materials directly to the International Center. You will need the original documents when visiting the U.S. Embassy.

Special Requirements:

Transfer students inside of the U.S. must complete page six (F-1 Transfer Form) of the I-20 application

DSO/PDSO of the current university must complete page six (F-1 Transfer Form) of the I-20 application in order to transfer the student SEVIS record to Rowan University.
